  My Blue ZO6 - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By My 5thvette - July 20 - 1:02 pm

  This car is one of the best beasts on the road. It rides like a Cadillac, but runs like a Ferrari. GMC -Chevrolet you guys have done a great job. The car runs, and runs. Handle great around the turns.

  A great car! - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Bob - July 18 - 9:31 pm

  I had a 2002 before purchasing the 2006. And while I liked the old one, there were a few little things that really annoyed me with it. The new one is really a great car! It has better quality interior, better ride/handling, nicer instrument panel, nicer closing doors, better fit and finish, less road noise, faster, the list goes on! Also, the new xenon headlights are great. I noticed the handling difference in the car (better) immediately leaving the dealer. I have the 6 spd manual. I took it on a 600 mile trip and got 31.4 MPG. I dont think theres another car made where youll get this type of performance/mileage combination. Im extremely happy with this one:)

  Sweet Action - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Jeffthegreat - July 16 - 7:27 pm

  Ive had this C6 for 5 days now. It is my 2nd Vette, and im so glad to be back in one. I traded in an 06 BMW 330i which was really beyond boring. While practical I just had no fun it. The heads up display, the seats, the obnoxious roar of the engine - cannot be topped by any other manufacturer. The only complaint I have is with the cheap plastic interior. Come on Chevy, get rid of it. The pick up on this beast is beyond anything I expected. The C5 I had was really powerful and fast, this one blows it away. If youre looking for an exciting car, something to put a smile on your face...get one! You will not regret it.

  Great Car - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Ellen - July 7 - 1:08 pm

  This is my third generation Corvette. The styling is absolutely gorgeous. (I also liked the sytling on my 1999 Vette.) Thought about buying the Mercedes 500 SL convertible. My car was parked next to it and I thought the Corvette was so much better looking. The manual top on my last car (the 99) was much easier to use. The guys at the dealership talked me into the manual top, and I find it hard to latch. I also think the heads up display is a waste of money. I feel that feature should be eliminated the make the power top standard. As even inexpensive convertibles all have power tops. Other than that, the Corvette gives you the most bang for the buck.

  1 BAD 3LT C-6 - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By 1BAD C6 - July 4 - 11:11 am

  Always wanted a Corvette. When the C6 came out to play I knew it was time to get one. From the test drive we were sold. Not many new cars off the assembly line have the performance, handling and comfort that the new corvettes have.We ordered ours with the Z-51 package. All my friends said it would ride rough. To theirs and our surprise it rides smoother than we expected. The creature features in the interior will keep you busy for a few hours trying to learn and remember. The exterior? What can you say? I call it Eye Candy. It looks so good!! Come on guys and gals we have 400 ponies to feed - dont expect to get 35 mpg. Remember you have to pay to play, OH what fun. We love it!!

  Disappointed - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Pedro - June 28 - 10:08 pm

  I live in South Florida and had a black 99 C5 which I traded for this silver coupe with paddle shift, onstar, heads up display navigation and the Z51 racing package. The car gets lots of looks and has great accelerating power. One of the reasons for trading my old C5 was the top which at times leaked during very strong thunderstorms but to my surprise driving my new 2006 vette on the Florida Turnpike at high speed my roof peeled off and I was very lucky the roof flew high and swerved right into a ditch without hurting any of the drivers behind me. It is a shame that in a 56k dollars automobile we find such a poor quality. I will trade this vehicle primarily for safety reasons.

  True American Sports Car - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By John - June 23 - 11:37 am

  Great for long trips w/ upwards of 30mpg or 500 from an 18 gallon tank. Not enough side support for cornering in the seats but still holds on to the road well. Inside a little cheap, they could have used aluminum for the trim instead of aluminum-colored plastic. Engine bay not as nice as previous generation and hard to keep clean. Could have gone with a better sound system but all around this car beats out even European cars for the fun to price ratio.

  It is a way of life - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By EightySixTangos - June 22 - 9:35 pm

  I picked it up at the National Corvette Museum, in Bowling, Kentucky. It is a red convertible with paddle shift. Once it was broken in I drove it 2600 miles with the top down. The only problem I had was dead bugs all over the front bumper and side mirrors. I previously had a red C4 Convertible. The difference in ride quality and handling is phenomenol. Be sure and get it with Paddle Shift. Once you get used to used to it, you will notice a huge performance difference between it and the automatic. If you can, go to the National Corvette Museum for delivery. They take you on a personal tour of the factory. Remember, Corvette owners wave at each other. Save the Wave!

  Fun car - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By jerry - June 19 - 5:20 pm

  I love pretty much everything about the car, handling, speed, style, the look of course, and for the price, it clearly is the best sports car in value. Enough said. Speed

  What A Car! - 2006 Chevrolet Corvette
  By Jim - June 19 - 10:33 am

  Ive had my Vette for about six weeks now. All I can say is this is one fine roadster. The power is intoxicating. The handling and ride are exceptional with the F55 suspension. Ive had two Honda S2000 roadsters prior to this and theres no comparison. The combination of performance and comfort completely eclipse the Honda. If youre looking for a "toy" I dont believe there are many better choices than this car. Especially, when one factors in the cost to performance ratio. Cheverolet has to have produced one of the best values in this market segment.
